APC by Schneider Electric NetShelter 9000 24-Outlet PDU

The APC NetShelter 9000 24-Outlet PDU is a high-performance, switched rack power distribution unit designed to optimize power delivery in dense data center environments. Built to integrate seamlessly with NetShelter enclosures and Schneider Electric’s comprehensive management ecosystem, this 24-outlet PDU provides granular control, real-time monitoring, and robust protection to minimize downtime and maximize efficiency. Whether you’re deploying a large-scale server farm, a virtualization cluster, or a growing lab environment, this PDU delivers reliable power distribution with the intelligence you need to manage energy, reduce waste, and maintain service levels.

• Power distribution for demanding racks: The NetShelter 9000 24-Outlet PDU consolidates every essential rack device—servers, storage, switches, and blades—into a single, organized power hub. With 24 outlets, you can segment power delivery to critical workloads, simplify cabling, and reduce the risk of overloads in high-density deployments. This streamlined distribution supports scalable growth as your rack footprint expands, while maintaining clean, professional cable management that improves airflow and cooling efficiency.
• Switched, outlet-level control for uptime: Each outlet can be individually controlled and monitored, enabling remote reboots, load shedding, and precise fault isolation without visiting the data center floor. This capability is invaluable for maintaining service levels during firmware updates, patch cycles, or troubleshooting, and it helps minimize downtime and maintenance windows by automating recovery workflows and reducing mean time to repair (MTTR).
• High-current performance for modern servers: With a 30 A rating, the PDU supports dense, power-hungry racks without sacrificing voltage stability. This endurance translates into consistent performance for multi-node servers, GPU accelerators, and storage appliances, while helping to optimize cooling overhead by preventing overloading on any single circuit. The reliability of steady power delivery also extends the life of connected equipment and protects against power-related faults that can disrupt workloads.
• Seamless integration with APC ecosystem: Engineered to work with APC NetShelter enclosures and Schneider Electric’s broad suite of management tools, the 24-Outlet PDU delivers unified visibility and control. Integrate with PowerChute for graceful shutdowns, StruxureOn for cloud-based monitoring, and other APC/SCHNEIDER Electric management solutions to create a cohesive infrastructure that’s easy to monitor, alert, and optimize across data centers, edge sites, and hybrid environments.
• Rugged, space-efficient design for professional environments: Built from durable materials with a compact footprint, this PDU fits neatly into standard racks and complements the rugged reliability required in data centers, colocation facilities, and research labs. Its sturdy construction and thoughtful cable management features help maintain clean, organized racks, reduce wear on power cords, and sustain performance in demanding environments where uptime matters most.
